Summary

Carver Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mount Olive, North Carolina, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 509 students. The school is part of the Wayne County Public Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 242 districts in the state.

Carver Elementary has shown a steady improvement in its academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking improving from 1298 out of 1434 North Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 672 out of 1490 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments is generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 72.2% of 3rd-grade students at Carver Elementary were proficient or better in EOG/Mathematics, compared to 61.7% for the Wayne County Public Schools district and 64.1% for the state of North Carolina.

Despite Carver Elementary's overall academic performance, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (99.41% free or reduced-price lunch) presents significant challenges. However, the school's relatively high per-student funding and low student-to-teacher ratio suggest that it may have effective strategies in place to support student success. Nearby schools, such as Hargrove Elementary and Grantham Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, indicating that Carver Elementary may face competition from other high-performing schools in the region.
